Biological aging, characterized by changes in metabolism and physicochemical properties of cells, has an impact on public health. Environment lifestyle, including factors like diet physical activity, seem to play a key role healthy aging. Several studies have shown that regular activity can enhance antioxidant defense mechanisms, the enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase. However, intense or prolonged exercise also lead increase reactive oxygen species...

We investigated the effect of growing on lactate instead glucose in human cardiomyocyte assessing their viability, cell cycle activity, oxidative stress and metabolism by a proteomic metabolomic approach. In previous studies performed elite players, we found that adaptation to exercise is characterized chronic high plasma level lactate. Lactate considered not only an energy source but also signalling molecule referred as "lactormone"; heart one major recipients exogenous With this mind, used...
Male professional soccer players frequently compete in multiple matches weekly, and each match significantly impacts their homeostasis, health, performance. This study evaluates response at 48 h post-match by combining biological GPS data. Investigating biochemical performance metrics offers insights into the physical demands of high-intensity exercise, essential for optimizing performance, recovery, overall athlete health. The involved an Italian "Serie A" team, we assessed players' effort...
The purpose of this study was to compare the redox, hormonal, metabolic, and lipid profiles female male basketball players during seasonal training period, compared their relative sedentary controls. 20 (10 10 male) controls were enrolled in study. Oxidative stress, adiponectin level, metabolic profile determined. Male athletes showed an increased antioxidant capacity (27% for males; 21% females) lactate level (389% 460% reduced salivary cortisol (25% 51% Moreover, a peculiar metabolite (in...
The aim of this study was to characterize the salivary proteome and metabolome highly trained female male young basketball players, highlighting common different traits. A total 20 players (10 10 male) sedentary control subjects were included in study. athletes exercised at least five times per week for 2 h day. Saliva samples collected mid-season, between 9:00 11:00 a.m. away from sport competition. analyzed by using 2DE GC–MS techniques, respectively. computerized gel image analysis...
Monitoring fatigue and recovery during training periods contributes to identifying the best methods achieve sports performance. To date, little is known about sex-related differences in adaptations. The aim of present study identify adaptation proteins female basketball players male using proteomics approach on plasma samples withdrawn from athletes in-season period but far a competition. A cohort 20 professional players, 10 (BF) (BM), sedentary (10 CM) CF) as control, comparable age BMI,...
Background: Most studies on oxidative stress markers and antioxidant levels have been conducted in male athletes, although female participation sport has increased rapidly the past few decades. In particular, it could be important to assess relation training load because anaerobic path becomes predominant high-intensity actions. Methods: Ten professional basketball players, performing five 2 h-lasting sessions per week, 10 sedentary control women were investigated. Capillary blood saliva...
Abstract In elite athlete several metabolic changes occur during regular training. These modifications are associated with in blood profile and can lead to adaptive mechanisms aimed at establish a new dynamic equilibrium, which guarantees better performance. The goal of this study was characterize the plasma redox homeostasis, athletes practicing two different team sports such as soccer basketball order identify potential pathways underlying differences training programs. A cohort 30 male,...
Abstract Physical activity is an important regulator of energy homeostasis and helps the improvement metabolic health lowering risk for a broad variety problems. The driving force good impact exercise new established metabolism in people who practise regular physical activity; fact, movement induces wide molecular adaptations skeletal muscle whole body. In previous studies performed on elite players, we found that adaptation to exercises characterized by chronic high plasma level lactate. By...
